'''Team 17 Digital Limited''' ('''Team17''') is a British video game developer and publisher based in Wakefield, England. The venture was created in December 1990 through the merger of British publisher 17-Bit Software and Swedish developer Team 7. At the time, the two companies consisted of and were led by Michael Robinson, Martyn Brown and Debbie Bestwick, and Andreas Tadic, Rico Holmes and Peter Tuleby, respectively. Bestwick later became Team17's chief executive officer until 1 January 2024. After their first game, ''Full Contact'' (1991) for the Amiga, the studio followed up with multiple number-one releases on that platform and saw major success with Andy Davidson's ''Worms'' in 1995, the resulting franchise of which still remains as the company's primary development out, having developed over 20 entries in it. | |||

==The Escapists controversy== | |||
Recently Team 17 purposely deleted the game "The Escapists" off of the Google Play store stating that it was not supported by modern devices. The game can no longer be re-downloaded on newer devices even if it was previously bought at the game's listed price ($5.99). The stated motive was as follows: "Unfortunately, this title is not updated nor supported on more recent tech", however this is not true as games delisted long ago like Flappy Bird are still downloadable from your purchase history even if you have an old Android device that should support it. The game is still fully functional if the APK file is sideloaded onto Android 12. | |||

I contacted google and they said the developer "You" had removed the game I would ask you put it backup as I really loved the game and really want to play it again I also paid $5 for it I am wondering if there are plans to put the game back up on the play store as I think it is imoral to take a game that people paid for off the store so people cant play it anymore. I hope my beloved escapists is returned to me. | |||
